This patch sends CMD22 (mmc_sd_num_wr_blocks()) for SD cards after a write command. This function relies on csd->tacc_ns and csd->tacc_clks for setting timeout values. But for SDHC cards, these CSD values are not read and will always be 0. The host driver will only use the timeout values sent by upper layers and thus in this case we are writing 0 to MMCIDATATIMER. This is the reason for getting data timeout error for CMD22. Before sending CMD22 if I add mmc_set_data_timeout(), then it is working fine for me because mmc_set_data_timeout() uses hardcoded timeout values for SDHC cards. All other SD read commands are also using mmc_set_data_timeout() to set the timeout values - mmc_sd_switch(), mmc_app_sd_status() and mmc_app_send_scr(). I think it is a problem in mmc_sd_num_wr_blocks to use CSD contents for timeout values for all types of SD cards. -- Thanks, Sahitya. -- Sent by a consultant of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
